She raised her head, looking at the familiar yet fearso giant. Chen Xinjie’s heart was pounding. She was confused. After a long while, she cald herself down and finally asked in doubt, "Luo Yuan, are you okay? What happened to you?"

"It’s a long story. Sothing’s wrong with my body!" Luo Yuan sighed, answering her question telepathically.

He dared not open his eyes. Eyes were the window to the soul. Regardless of how well he could restrain his power, the shadow of his Will would still exist. If they happened to et each other’s gaze, he would frighten her soul or even directly destroy her soul.

"You... Can you still recover?"

"I can’t do it now. I need so ti!" Luo Yuan replied with his eyes closed. He saw Chen Xinjie’s face turn dreadfully pale as she endured the pressure on her body due to his aura. He then said, "You should go back now. You can’t stay here."

Chen Xinjie’s heart sank that very mont as Luo Yuan answered with uncertainty.

"But you..."

"I don’t need extra care. You shouldn’t stay here. Oh yeah, help inform Tian Jinping and ask him to prepare a biology lab and a tal slting lab. I’m going to use them. Also, get a few sets of clothes. They don’t have to be comfortable but make sure that they are made of high-strength material. It will be best if they are made from the skin of the interstellar creature." Up until this mont, he was still naked. His clothes that were synthesized with the materials from the interstellar creature had been ripped apart when he entered the fourth-dinsion earlier.

After listening to Luo Yuan, Chen Xinjie left with a heavy heart.

As soon as she left, he slowly opened his eyes and sighed.

What he said earlier was to comfort Chen Xinjie. In fact, he knew that even with the compression thod, he could only tackle the problem of having the body of a giant, his power would remain the sa. The only thing this would do would be to help him maintain the appearance of a human.

Despite expecting this to happen, he never knew that the day would co so fast.

...

Half a year later, at the tal slting laboratory.

The laboratory was built at the last minute and was a reconstruction of a large factory.

It was extrely spacious. At both sides of the 10 ters wide passage, there were a few large instrunts arranged accordingly.

A large body suddenly appeared at the passage of the laboratory.

"Eh? There’s a slight deviation in the teleportation!" Luo Yuan looked at the ground beneath his feet, he was shocked. Soon, he knew why.

It was because the spaceship was traveling at half the speed of light. During the short period of ti when he entered the fourth-dinsion, the change in position happened.

Fortunately, the deviation was negligible. His four-dinsional brain that was on par with a quantum supercomputer had subconsciously computed the difference in position. He then realized that the difference was less than 0.01 milliters. He would not even have noticed if not for his four-dinsional brain.

Luo Yuan put it aside and shifted his focus to the experintal equipnt.

All these were the most advanced facilities that were developed in recent years. They were originally only available in the virtual world but recently, they had started to build out these facilities in the spaceship.

That being said, only a few devices were built but industrial developnt could never be accomplished at one stroke. It had to be done step by step. Thanks to the equipnt, the industrial facilities in the spaceship had been upgraded several tis. This was the reason Luo Yuan had been waiting for half a year.

Despite being a waste of money and manpower, consuming a large portion of the resources stored in the spaceship, it had its advantage. At least when they arrived at the destination, they could shorten the ti needed for industrial advancent.

Luo Yuan walked into the information room. The technical docunts, tables, and chairs were made exclusively for him. They were enlarged to the ratio of his body. The docunts were of the size of a door, resembling what a giant would use. As a matter of fact, it was suitable for a giant.

The sudden change in Luo Yuan’s body size and the reason behind the change made the top managent take notice. They recalled the loud voice that they heard on that day.

Previously, people used to say that Luo Yuan’s trendously strength was rely a legend as very few of them had witnessed this before. However, ever since they witnessed his godlike power with their own eyes, everyone began to restrain themselves.

Although Luo Yuan stayed mostly in his manor nowadays, having completely withdrawn from his official duties, the control he had over humankind did not diminish at all. In fact, he had strengthened his grip over humankind.

...

Controlling his mind, thousands of books floated in the air, pages flipping as he focused his thoughts. A few minutes later, the books returned to their original positions.

He was slightly disappointed!

These were humankind’s most advanced facilities. They were still incapable of producing so of the advanced components in bulk, only being able to produce small quantities in the laboratory. However, the maximum degree of compression they could get on an atom within these facilities were only about 100 fold.

His actual height was 21.5 ters. That being said, in order to return to the body size of an ordinary human, his body size had to be reduced by 10 tis at the very least. The volu of his body had to be reduced by a thousand tis, the difference was too big.

Fortunately, he did not need this equipnt when he was going to transform.

The main reason for Luo Yuan to use this laboratory was because he wanted to use the atom compression simulation as a reference. At the sa ti, he could understand the effects of various atom compression techniques. Despite a vast disparity of difficulty between trying to compress an atom 1,000 fold version 100 fold, they would definitely encounter more uncertainties and problems as they moved forward but they were still using the sa material. That being said, the theory behind the compression techniques should be the sa and after conducting the experint several tis, he would be able to master it.

Will was naturally an idealistic, omnipotent power. Since his Will was strengthened to the extent that it could now interfere with protons, even without the use of his four-dinsional brain, he was able to compress atoms. However, this approach is only effective if the number of atoms was small. The number of atoms contained in the human body was 10 raised to the 27th power and this was an imasurable power. Regardless of how strong his Will was, it would never be sufficient for such an endeavor.

Using Will without the support of his four-dinsional brain would wasate a large portion of his power. While using his Will alone would give him precise control over his power, using his four-dinsional brain to complent it was undoubtedly a ti-saving and energy-saving approach.

...

A thousand-fold compression seed to be a lot. However, it was just the beginning as there was quite a spacious amount of space inside the atoms.

If atoms resembled as a standard football field, the atomic nucleus would be the size of a ping-pong ball. It occupied only about a few hundred-millionths of the space inside an atom. The electron surrounding the nucleus would be thousand tis smaller than the size of an atomic nucleus.

The space inside the atoms was not totally empty, they were filled with electromagnetic fields. In other words, the matter that humans were in contact with were actually electromagnetic fields that existed only in the atomic interior.

The essence of the steel they were using was the compression of the material under high pressure, reducing the size of the atoms. Through electromagnetic processes, the electromagnetic field within the atoms was strengthened, giving the material its desired stability.

Since the magnetic field within the atoms had been strengthened, the energy consud to produce a ton of this steel would be extrely huge. It would require hundreds of thousands or even millions of tis the amount of energy required to produce regular steel.

Fortunately, this material contained terrifying power. As the atoms were closely packed, there was no gap between atoms. Therefore, its physical properties, as well as chemical properties, were extrely stable.

Luo Yuan did not want to waste any more ti and quickly carried out the experint. He headed towards the equipnt that had a height of 50 ters. It was an experintal, fully sealed matter compression machine. The actual large-scale matter compression machine was at least 10 tis bigger than this.

He opened the feed port. The tals that weighed a few tons in weight slowly floated in the air from the storage space, flying through a few hundred ters before being inserted into the feed port.

As soon as Luo Yuan activated the machine, the feed port was automatically closed. The air was drawn out. The next mont, a powerful electrical energy akin to a dam gushed into the machine. A hum from the ball-shaped equipnt was heard. Even the ground began to shake slightly.

Luo Yuan slowly closed his eyes, sensing the changes that occurred within the tal. After a few seconds, the tal ingot had lted in an instant, forming a huge, liquefied, tal ball. It floated within the container.

The extrely high temperature and pressure in the machine resembled the interior of the sun. Such an equipnt was similar to a fusion furnace. However, the complexity of the technology behind this equipnt was far beyond that of a fusion furnace. The paraters included in the data of this machine would be hundred tis of what a fusion furnace could provide. It was similar to the environnt within the core of the star, undergoing matter compression.

As ti passed, it beca smaller.
